About Als der Weihnachtsmann vom Himmel fiel
When a thunderstorm causes problems on Christmas day, Santa Claus Niklas Julebukk is forced to make a dangerous emergency landing. Niklas Julebukk may still be relatively young, but he's already a real Santa Claus. Unfortunately, he is now stranded with his caravan, the goblins Flybeard and Goatee, the reindeer Shooting Star and even the little angel Matilda. Because Julebukk also does not want to participate in the new-fangled custom of giving children expensive presents, he is also threatened by the nasty Waldemar Wichteltod. Luckily, the two courageous children Ben and Charlotte help him. Together they can save Christmas Eve from the mean gnome and his nutcrackers.
Directed by Martin Stefaniak, Julian Köberer, Als der Weihnachtsmann vom Himmel fiel leans on a strong ensemble — Thomas M. Held, Maximilian Frisch, Birge Funke — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 2017.
